one too many roads

i've been down
one too many roads
one too many town's
carried my loads
some have been easy
some kinda' sleaZy
some just expolde
but i've been down
one too many roads

drivin' Life's highways
been thru some bye-ways
seen my share
a "come what may's"
'bout all i can say
i'm still here

had my share a' green lights
wishes & if's & mights
seen some yellow's
run thru those fellow's
stopped at some reds
or went dead aheads
but i ain't dead
yet

school zones
& ozone warnin's
rock slide ahead
drive 'till i'm dead
steep curve
watchout for the curb
no center line
suits me just fine
drive 'till i'm dead
drive on
where ever i'm lead

too many dead ends
too many short cuts
hard ta' make a heart mend
buts
have to make amends
still driven'
still striven'
ta' where Life sends me
ends me up
yup!

i've been down one too many roads
carried my Life's loads
and i keep drivin'
strivin' to get home

yeah,
i've been down
one too many roads
